World Cafe: Next - Ryley Walker’s New West Wind EP Has Swirling Psych-folk Guitar Plus Great Songs

December 16, 2013 - Our World Cafe: Next artist this week is the Chicago based guitarist Ryley Walker. He is a singer-songwriter but on his psych-folk EP, The West Wind, it is easy to get lost in the swirling guitars.

Walker is an associate of fellow Chicago American primitive guitarist Daniel Bachman and the two have recorded together. Ryley’s playing nods to the late Bert Jansch but extends the British folkie’s excursions. The West Wind EP is out now and there is a full-length coming in April.
